This quote from Ramana Maharshi might be helpful, “The question 'Who am I?' is not really meant to get an answer, the question 'Who am I?' is meant to dissolve the questioner.” So constantly questioning 'Who am I?'/self-enquiry helps dissolve the ego. Just posted Robert's "Who Am I?" satsang as well and here are a few others that talk more on self-enquiry :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y6ppn6tzvdPDqXk.htmlsi=bwi3nfGE7wdIV3Sn kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kKpzqbWitcm6eYU.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLR-jcyo1tGbnJs.html

Yea, man really liked this two-part meditation as well. Glad you found it helpful! This channel is pretty much a combination of various spiritual traditions, Advaita Vedanta, teachings/meditations/satsangs from spiritual masters like Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta Maharaj, Robert Adams, Rupert Spira, Adyashanti, Eastern wisdom etc. The more you watch videos on advaita, non-duality, meditations etc, you'll begin to see that truth is universal, and whether it’s expressed through different teachings, traditions, or experiences, it ultimately points back to the same underlying reality. Some great channels, teachers and lots of free resources these days. Enjoy!

Thank you from my heart ♥ ​@@simplyherenow

​@@joelwarnaerts279 You got it! Much appreciated, and I'm glad you find it helpful💙

You got it. Appreciate the support!

In the metaphor of the movie and the screen, the screen represents pure awareness or consciousness. The question of "who" is moving attention is a way to point out the illusory nature of the doer. The true Self-the screen-does not move attention; it is the still, unchanging presence in which all experiences, including the movement of attention, arise and subside. The process of inquiry into the nature of the doer reveals that there is no separate entity directing attention-there is only awareness, ever-present and unchanging.

@goldmine4955 Perhaps thinking about yourself (to yourself) in the 3rd person for a while might help clear up this confusion? Let's use the human brain to first put this duality in place: I/Brahman vs Human. Every situation of your day, you could start labeling as, "The human is thinking/doing this. And I, Brahman, am the Awareness upon which this human's thoughts and doings are appearing/disappearing." The goal is to keep the "I" pronoun reserved only for times when talking about yourself as Brahman/Awareness. And as time goes on, there hopefully might be this subtle but profound epiphany. One might realize that: If "I" am constantly THINKING that there is The Human vs Me/Brahman perspective, then, am "I" really at Brahman perspective yet? Because Brahman doesn't think. 🤔 Brahman doesn't talk. Brahman doesn't see duality. So, this "I" that I've been chanting about all this time, it's not really "Me," is it? It's still a construct of the human mind? And it's usually THAT moment when the human mind finally surrenders itself to the much-needed silence for awakening, because it (the mind) finally understands that: We humans cannot THINK or CHANT our way to the Brahman perspective. Because the Brahman perspective is only about BEING. And as long as we are building a habit of *focusing on* DOING/THINKING something about Awareness, we are not BEING Awareness. The desire to still all FOCUS on human thoughts and actions must become so strong, that one becomes the stillness itself. And in that stillness resides the knowing of God as God.

The practice of 'I am' is a stepping stone, helping you realize that you are not separate from the ultimate reality. He’s pointing to the understanding that the ultimate truth is Brahman alone. It’s not about the personal 'I' identifying as Brahman, but about the dissolution of personal identity into the realization that only Brahman exists. Ultimately, it’s about recognizing that there is no individual 'I'-only Brahman-and you are that! Not a fool 😂:)

@@maliha05786 thank you 🙏 for taking the time to write and clarify my confusion. My mind was constantly saying “I am”. Brahman I was amused at my naivety. 😊 yes, I understand, and I do talk in third person Human, great advice. I thought Robert said don’t think, don’t answer, just chant I am. But is so much subtle than that. Thank you again!

@@goldmine4955 Honored to be of service 🙏🏻 Thank you for also receiving my writings well. May this flow on the path of Awakening keep getting easier for all of us, and may we continue being guided and helping others as well, whenever needed. And as @simplyherenow also wonderfully stated, you are indeed doing the right thing by BEGINNING by SAYING "Human Does vs I Am" ... until hopefully the time arrives that one just starts BEING "I" (Awareness) and all need to chant/do anything as a human goes away entirely. It's as if this whole journey is about shifting perspectives. In the beginning, Human looks at an object with its eyes and focuses only on the object. Then, Human keeps staring at the object with physical eyes, but also starts imagining a new picture in Human's mind. Then Human goes a step further and starts seeing the very mind that's imagining a picture while physically looking at something else. So, keep "zooming out" in PERSPECTIVE, until there's no more zooming out possible. That's when the object that the human was physically looking at dissolves (goes out of "Awareness's" attention/focus). And the different picture that the human was thinking about while physically looking at something else ALSO dissolves. And all that's left is Awareness. Awareness does not require there to be something to be aware OF, in order to exist. Just as the sky will still be the sky, even without clouds; and a screen will always remain a screen, even without anything being displayed. Awareness will be Awareness, even with nothing in focus, and even with everything in focus. Don't stop until you're at the PERSPECTIVE of Awareness 🫡

It's pretty special to have so many of the satsangs recorded with transcripts freely available. Glad they found you too @alfreddifeo9642 :)
